Isn’t this how gods worked in Terry Pratchett’s books?

No, but it is basically how Santa worked, as seen in Hogfather.

Gods are a species that become more powerful the more worshippers they have and essentially powerless when they have no followers, as seen in Small Gods.

Wasn't the Hogfather an old winter god?

Maybe? It’s been a while.

You're thinking of American Gods by Gaiman.

My god is YouTube. TV is dead.
